| I've been an Anime fan for a very long time now. However looking back, HOLY SHIT did the degeneracy and toxicity ramp up to stupid heights last decade.

| I have been an anime fan for about 3 years now, so I don't know how it must have been to be an anime fan before this. I usually don't mind the anime community too much, be it enthusiastic fans or anitubers, mostly because I hardly engage with it nowadays. I can see your point tho, since some people have gone around and basically made a meme out of the whole "Anime is not cartoons for kids", and then gave examples such as Tokyo Ghoul or Attack on Titan. While these shows aren't for kids, they kinda show that anime is edgy, but not necessarily deep or able to tackle more serious issues. However, since anime got more popular, it is much more socially acceptable to talk about it now. Sure, you might still get the "stfu weeb", but the change is pretty great. I personally went from being low key bullied for starting to like anime in 2017 to being able to talk to almost everyone I know about the latest shows. And that's only in the last 3 years! All in all, I think it was a pretty good decade for anime, and while it lacks the kind of exclusivity that it had when it was a niche type of things, now you can find more people to bond over anime than ever before. |

| The amount of great older anime that finally got fan subs this decade makes it all worth it to me. The 00s also had a lot of people ignorant of anime history acting like experts and often dismissed stuff they had barely even engaged with (like pre Eva mecha shows). The taste-makers of that era were way more artistically illiterate than the ones of today as well, and fans have gotten a bit more sophisticated and open minded in their appreciation of the art form. The anime was better then, and less dumb politics, but that is about it to me. |
| I think no matter what you think about the community, the fact that the 2010s brought us simulcasting and widespread availability of subs for almost all anime coming out and many older ones make it a great decade for anime fans. Because you don't have to interact with the community, but you do need subs and anime to be available no matter what. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I only joined the anime community in late 2018, so I haven't experience all those from earlier last decade. I think the most toxic fandom starting this decade off it the My Hero Academia fans. Harassing the mangaka and Studio Bones, making threats for not shipping certain characters, burning/destroying manga volumes, making unjust claims like which characters share birthdays with specific tyrants and leaders or making big scenes over useless and pathetic things (involving political talk points). Even though I like MHA, I want nothing to do with the fandom. Though, with the advance of legal streaming, I think now is a better time to be an anime fan compared to 10 years ago, as you can access hundreds/thousands of different shows (legally). |
| Those hectic days were actually awesome because even the minority are very vocal. |

| The internet as we know it now wasn't much of a thing in the 90's and 2000's, so I blame the internet. |

| world is beautiful as long as you believe and think it, and don't try to looking it awfull side. the same with anime world bro. just enjoy what do you like, you can debate, but keep it positive, people are born with differences, so no wonder we got different opinion, respect other opinion and you will be respected too. and if there's other who force their opinions that you found it different from yours (I think mostly they still kids or teens), then you should jut tell them you don't have the same opinion and say sorry. no offence bro :) |

Anime fans are overlapping with other fandoms more than ever in recent years. So unless you stay off of the internet all together you can't really escape it. |
Kayle_x_Morgana said: I'm a kind of person who watches almost every anime unless it's very long (100+, so none of the "Big Three"), and while I can see the point on SAO being kind of generic and the characters not having much substance, I don't see any reasoning to harshly judge everything you watch. You shouldn't expect every anime to be top-tier animation with an amazing plot and good characters. If you don't like something, you can say it's bad, but not spend hours making meme after meme.

| I don’t agree with everything OP says about the community (political stuff aren’t that prominent, and most anitubers aren’t actually all that problematic), nor the level of passion with which they hate it (the word degenerate used in a serious sense always raises an eyebrow for me). Still, it is true that there’s more toxicity than there was around 10 years ago. For one very specific reason: There are just more anime fans now. Big fanbases always have their fair share of crazy, and that’s sadly something we have to live with. Only way to avoid that is by frequenting niche fanbases instead. |

| The funny thing is I've seen more people complaining about those anime evangelist than them themselves, as for the toxic anitubers it's really the same 5 or 6 ones. But anyway the 2010s was the decade when you became able to watch anime whenever you want right after it aires in japan and also a lot of old gems got the subs they needed so no. |

| I started to become an anime fan around 2013... I did receive some backlash from it, like being fooled to watch pico... But i thought that was because i was too young back then.. maybe this was the real reason...? :') |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| I mean, what most people mean by "degeneracy" isn't an absolute non-issue, so no on that front because it's at a static 0. I have no frame of reference for toxicity. I will say that it's a very toxic fandom, though, largely in part due to people like yourself. |
 |
| I'd argue the 10's were the best decade to get into anime, solely due the amount of quality series we get. Annoying jokes and toxic fandoms would've existed in literally every other decade too if the Internet was as big as it is now. Not to mention, people as a whole didn't have to be as secluded as they were back then because they had nobody to associate with. |

| To be honest, it could be considered the best time to be an anime fan. I strongly disagree with you and think youre being a bit close minded, look at all the good things we have: ~ Anime is much more easier to watch now. With legal streaming site you can watch anime in sub or dub at a cheap price at the tap of a few buttons, with multiple streaming sites to choose from youre not going to be likely to find an anime thats not available legally. Even then, you can also use illegal streaming sites just as easily meaning you are able to watch anime for free, just as quickly. You have never been able to access these shows so quickly and hassle free before. Ever. ~ While some anitubers are in fact as twatty as you describe them to be, we live in a time where content creators are able to produce media ABOUT anime for your entertainment. There has never been so much discussion open available so easily. This means even if you have no friends who are interested in anime or the same anime as you, you are still able to explore, discuss and socialize about your interest with these anitubers and other people on the internet in general. ~ Each year more and more anime are being produced. Each season about 30+ anime are made. With at least 25 of them being high quality and six shows being the "hot topic" of the community each season. With so many different shows being made, you will ALWAYS find something each season that you will like. No matter what youre a fan of something of the sort will be made for you. Each year you will typically you will have 5-20 anime that YOU HAVE ENJOYED A LOT. Before, when not as much anime was made, you wouldnt have as many. ~ Anime is mainstream now. Well, not completely, but its never been so popular in the west and accepted. Its now unlikely that you will be bullied for liking anime as it becomes more and more "normal" to the general public. Soon it will be just as normal to have a hobby of videogames as anime. You mainly complain about one thing: The anime community/fandom. But, did you know, just because youre a fan of something does not mean you have to connect with the fandom. No one is forcing you to look at anime memes, watch anitubers, talk to toxic or degenerate fans or watch any anime of the series you listed. It may feel like its being shoved in your face, but maybe you should move your fucking face. If you dont like the anime community, you dont have to be in it and you can still enjoy anime. Not hard :P |

| Worst decade to be an anime fan? No, but it was the worst decade if you were an anime fan involved with the community. It's not like it was absolutely terrible, but the anime community in previous decades wasn't nearly as bad. It's just hard remembering all the highs from this decade when the lows were really low, decades before the 2010s were really mellow in comparison. |

I perhaps should have labeled my thread worst time to be apart of the community not so much being a fan. I can't think of any highs from last decade when it came to the community. Yes we got simulcasting and a lot more Anime is available but that's about it.. |
